  1. Folklore
    Hidden Treasure
    Various are the treasures hidden in and about Ardee, but the majority of the Ardorians are acquainted with the famous instrument which is in Sticillen.
    In Stickillen lies the drum which played at the battle of the Boyne.
    It is said to be guarded by two soldiers who fought in the battle of the Boyne and people are unable to remove it.
